Not a Drug.

Compound Oxygen is not drug. 1t does
not introduce an enemy into the system, but
a kind and gracious healer. 1t does not assault
or depress nature, as is always the case when
crude drugs are taken, but comes to her assist
ance and restores her weakened vital forces.
All OF its effects are gentle, pervading and
yitalizing. If you are suffering from any dis
ease which your physician has failed to cure,
send to Drs. STARKEY Sc PALEN, 1929 Arch
Street, Philadelphia, Pa, for their pamphlet,

Two Of sherman's BURNERS on Their Tra

Two OF Sherman's Bummers on Their Travels.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: On Sherman's
famous march from Atlanta to the sea,
the writer belonged to the First Brigade,
Fourth Division, Seventeenth Corps. / also
occupied the position of hummer" The
foragers generally left camp about daybreak in
charge of a Lieutenant, but as soon as we reached
the picket-line every man took care of him
self, and commanded an expedition of his own.
Our orders were TO bring in every horse we
could find.
One fine day in November my "pardner,"
3. +. Frazee, better known as Frosty" and
myself had one horse between US. Before noon
we came to a rich farmhouse and found plenty
of grub. An old buggy was pressed into SER
vice, and we soon had the craft loaded down
TO the gunwalcs with the best We could find,
including q 4-gallOn jar of strained honey.
That honey / will never forget. We soon
found good road, and everything went well
for a while. But we were on the road where
another division was marching-MOwers, L
think About 4 o'clock we came across the
old General, and Frosty" went to him 70 ask
information of our division, but the General
got very angry at us and threatened to put us
under arrest for stealing the grub that belonged
to his men. We did not feel disposed to
quarrel with him, for fear he would cOnfscate
our cargo. He finally told US our division was
going into camp IL miles east.
We struck out for camp and made very good
time for 10 miles, when we came across our
division teams. These made our march slow
and tedious, and in trying to get around them
we broke our buggy so badly that it had to be
abandoned. we held hurried council of war
and determined to save all the grub. We put
lot of il on the old horse, but could not keep
it there. Frosty" ordered me 20 mount, and
did so, and took all L could under me and
behind me, and the jar of honey before, and
Frosty" led tho horse. 1t was pretty big
load, but it was military necessity and he
had TO carry it. We had got nearly to camp
it was very dark-when Frosty" led the
horse under a pine tree, and the branche;
raked me and all the grub oil. tried my best
to keep the mouth of the jar up, but couldn't
and spilled about gallon of the honey in my
face and hair. Poor Frosty" has gone the
way of all the earth, or l suppose he would
still be laughing at me trying TO get that honey
out of my hair.-H. A. SNYDER, Sergeant, Co

supposed that the last battle of the war was the
fight at West Point, Ca, April IS, 1865, and
that Lieut.. VOsburg, Co. A, 1st Wis. Cav, was
the last man shot by the rebels He says it was
not much of q battle as compared with the great
engagements Of the war; but for all that it was
a lively fight, and the Union forces lost more
than Jackson did at New Orleans. The writer

audience was not as large as it
would have been had the performance
been that of a minstrel company or the

class OF people. Mrs Bowers is an actress
of great power, and is deserving of better
patronage than she is having here.
The play in which She appeared
last night is from the French
and while the dialogue is clear it is brimful
of intrigue with the inevitable project of
police Mime Cruesusn is the redeeming
character Of the play, the personification in
fact of all the virtues in the decalogue
She is a sort of female Monte Cristo," and
has millions to sustain her morals. The
villain of the play is, of course, prince,
the prince Serge Famine He is the
quintessence of sang .frojd, and between
the morals of the Madame and the gal
lantly of the Prince, all the girls in the
PLAY lead somewhat precarious lives.
